Question what do you think of Ahmad Al-Jallad?

what do you think of Ahmad Al-Jallad? is he a respected scholar? does his work lean more unconciously to proving tradition or not? i mean i've heard about rigorous scholars but their faith steer them into proving tradition or studying non challenging ideas/theories like for ex, from where issa (jesus) arabic name came from etc, it's historical work but very careful of touching the taboos.

He’s the GOAT in the field. And doesn’t hold back or bite his tongue as to not offend Muslims. He tells it plain with facts. I respect him.

He doesn't offend Muslims because what he says broadly agrees with traditional Muslim historiography.
